a resolution authorizing the President to enter
into negotiations with the Nicaraguan govern
ment for the purpose of obtaining the right to
construct an 1nteroceanic canal across that state
The resolution is due to the watchful care of the
that the Lesseps scheme will be backed up by the
government of France whenever occasion makes

French and certain Central American politicians

the association of Knights of Labor in
Canada as an association which Catholics
ought not to join, becapse the statutes
OF the Canadian association not con-
sidered to be sufficiently . orthodox,
but tho Propaganaa Eide have now
decided that The statutes Of the Knights of La
Dor OF Canada and the Knights of Labor of the
United States are very different The Propa-
ganda malntained the decision condemning the
knights of Labor in Canada, but as
to those OF the United States the de-
cision is not likely TO be arrived at for some
time. The Propaganda is hesitating, tenn
porlzlng, and studying all the bearings cast
upon the Catholic interests. Moreover. the
chiefsof the association Of the United States
knlgnfs OF Labor offer to introduce such mod
ihcation IN the statutes as the Holy See may
judge necessary. Among these chiefs are sever
al Catholics OF influence whom the authori-
ties at the Vatican are ready to dispense special
fayors. The modified statutes will transform
the association into little else than mu-
tuai aid society, and Rome is ever
ready TO encourage such societies and
give them helping hand, SO long as they hold
aloof from political parties and do not have in
them any antf-religious germ. But even as the
statutes now stand it is by no means certain
that they will be condemned by the Propaganda,
and one OF tie most influential members of this
congregation told me that his personal opinion
was that the United States Knights of Labor
would not be condemned by the Propaganda as
unit for good Catholics to join.
